Let’s Go Trekking!
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written. I apologize for that. I’ve been busy gearing up for a missions trip to Nepal. I head out tomorrow morning (Feb 16th) bring and early. I do have lots of blog ideas for when I get back, though, and I look forward to sharing them. In the…

A Little Nonsense Now and Then
Mos of us have those movies or TV shows we can’t go without. For me it’s the original movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The movie is full of creative machines and quotable lines. My most favorite of these quotes is “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” I…

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming…
A few years ago I ran my first official run – a 5k in Chattanooga. It was hot, muggy, and more hilly than I thought it would be. I finished it in just over 30 minutes, running the whole thing expect the last 100 yards which were straight up a hill. That’s not a great…

Bon Appetit!

Finding You Inner Michaelangelo
I was told that Michaelangelo once said of his David, “He was always in there, I just chiseled away the excess stone.” In my research I couldn’t find that particular quote but I did find this one, “The idea is there, locked inside, and all you have to do is remove the excess stone.” While…

Time to Stop Wasting My Time
Time is a precious commodity. Out of everything in the world time is the one thing that cannot be restored. Friendships can, as can money, even houses and cars can be restored. But time, once it’s passed, it can never come back. If we truly grasped that fact I wonder if we would waste as…

Surviving the Winter Months With a To-Do List
Life is a funny thing. Back when I was in college I loved the cold weather – the snow, the nippiness, even the late night cold runs. But now that I am older I don’t enjoy it as much. It gets dark too soon, it’s too cold to do much outside and now with my…
